Getting on a roll again, checking essential nutrients too!
My sister is getting active again and that is encouraging me to participate more in my own health and fitness. One thing that came to mind, again, is the importance of what we eat. Or maybe I should say, what our "main" diet needs for good health (or better). I want to say that I am not always good at eating the right…

SPLENDA WITHDRAWL??
Has anyone ever used Splenda for a period of time and then stopped using it and got bad headaches? I would use about 2-4 packets of it a day and drink only one of those mini cans of diet pepsi for the last year and found that since i started doing that, I crave sugar and carbs consistantly and it's torture to try and…

My confession...
I have been working out daily (30 mins) and tracking my calories on here for about 10 days. I think I've been under (by a little) my calorie goal 9 out of the 10 days, but doing pretty well, and working hard with the exercise. My first weigh in at 7 days was a bit of a let down because I had put on 2lbs... since then I…

Salad topped with fried eggs!
I was preparing my salad for lunch last night while my sister was cooking herself some eggs, and as she put them on her plate I suddenly thought, why not put eggs on top of the salad? Because of the yolk, I wouldn't need salad dressing. This was my lunch today: YUM!

Do I just guess how many calories are in that?
I'm wondering how everyone else tracks how many calories are in certain foods. I try to input my own recipes so I know for sure when I cook my own meals, but for example, I just had lunch at a Chinese place. How do I know how many calories are in everything that I put on my plate? (I realize that a Chinese Buffet isn't the…

On the go snacks
I am on the road a lot for work. My mornings are typically rushed, trying to get a 5 year old motivated and out the door. I typically just grab items to snack on/have for lunch in the car. My trainer says NO to granola bars! Anyone have healthy, quick suggestions? I am willing to do some prep work the day before.

Afternoon Energy Slump
Today, I seem to be especially tired - but totally hit a wall this afternoon. What do you do when this happens to you? Do you eat something (in the old days, I'd reach for a cookie or something sweet to get my buzz going) or get up and walk around? I need ideas for how to beat this feeling without eating junk food.

Marinade?
Quick question, I'm trying to add an receipts to my foods. And I was wondering how would you log marinade. For example I would put a bottle of soy sauce and 1/4 cup of olive oil with two chicken breast in a plastic zip lock bag. After several hours I then take the chicken out of the bag and grill. The ziplock bag is still…

Protein and Calories
I am currently set for 1200 cals (playing to see if this number works or not), but my protein is for 45. I am consistently going over on my protein every day anywhere from 20 - 60, but my fat and carbs are close to what is preset. Is this bad? Should I be resetting this manually to something else? Also - I've read a lot of…

So, my SO and I are due to have a baby in late February. (I'm the pregnant one). Before I became pregnant, we had started a pact to lose a total of 150 lbs together. The problem is, he lost about 50 pounds a couple years ago taking thermogenics, doing Insanity twice a day, and having very little to eat. Probably less than…

ALMOST ate out for lunch...but DIDN'T!
I was getting hungry and ALMOST ate out for lunch today. However, using the MFP app on my phone, I discovered there was NOTHING even worth eating, not with everything having at least 500mg of sodium (one of those Charley's subs has a whopping 1700 mg of sodium, more than I'm allowed for the WHOLE DAY)! In addition, when…

Perpetual Hunger?
Before any of you tell me to go see a doctor: I will be scheduling an appointment soon and mentioning this to mine when I go. I just figured I'd ask around, see if anyone is dealing with something similar in the mean time, because it's getting annoying (and it's been going on for a good long while). I'm just always hungry.…
